Step 1: Buy a shitty bike (body damage is ok, don't buy something nice for your first)
Step 2: Buy some decent gear, you might need it.
Step 3: Have someone give you some pointers and practice in a parking lot.
Step 4: Take the MSF course. It is required for a M endorsement now.
Step 5: Make sure you have your M endorsement, insurance, current registration, and inspection.
Step 6: Take things slow for the first few months, don't allow yourself to develop a sense of false confidence after hearing stories like "I learned on a busa and nothing happened to me"
Step 7: ???????
Step 8: Get laid.
Step 9: ???????
Step 10: Dethrone the current Moto GP champ.

LMAO!! at step 10.

Go take a MSF course and get your motorcycle license. Its fun and you will learn some great habits before you learn some bad ones trying to teach yourself. Makes for a fun weekend!

this. Take the class first. they provide the bike you learn on. then go get a beater bike for your first bike.

I first learned with the help of some friends. then got to riding for quite awhile without a class M. Then got a bunch of tickets for it and decided it was time to get my license. Not worth the hassle when the same damn cop pulls you over more than once just cause he knows you don't have a license lol.

Get a crotch rocket and run from the police. You'll pick the small things up quick or have 3-5 to think about your mistakes.

I had a buddy die doing that in 2004, he was a slow learner.
